Mobilephonesdirect

Hi all
Has anybody ordered from mobilephonesdirect? if so have you received a despatched notifiaction, been tracking my order all day and still says 'pending stock'
same here...received email saying that they have it in stock, but not email about dispatching it.
anyway I'm hoping that postman will wake me up in the morning with parcel in his hand
I preordered 9th of November....
i'm hoping the same, money has been taken from my account but i would expect to have received notification if it had been sent
I'm thinking it will arrive on Monday
Yeah, I've spoke to them, set of [email protected]
They told me all orders would be dispatched today. When I rang today, they said only Vodafone orders were processed and T-Mobile orders would be tomorrow. So if you're on T-Mobile its Monday, Vodafone, its tomorrow
when did you pre-order it???
I'm T-mobile
I ordered on TMOB...do you think we may get lucky and get it Saturday???
T-Mobile
Royal mail does deliver on Saturday for extra £2.20 per item. I don't think mobilephonesdirect going to pay that
im gutted...just my luck that i will get it after weekend....
whats the betting they run out of stock now before completing the TMobile orders
I dont even want to think of it....I will cancel if they do...
Mine has been dispatched today and mines on tmobile. I pre ordered on 20th october.
I pre-ordered on the 22nd Oct (T-Mo).
My order status changed to 'ready for despatch' this afternoon, and hasn't changed since.
I still have pending stock....anybody else with status of order "pending stock"?? I really hope they have enough stock for everybody. I'll give them ring tomorrow
Still Pending Stock :-(
Still pending stock for me and I pre-ordered 20th October too. If its not here on Saturday I will just send it back to them. Special Delivery can arrive on Saturdays depending on the area. We seem to get Saturday special delivery so might be lucky.
I've been reading a lot of people though that aren't happy with the phones, wondering if its worth it after all this...
Im really pissed about this. I ordered ages ago i should get it first. Why should a Vodafone orderer get it before me?
Hopefully ill get it Saturday, if not ill ring them and it wont be a nice call..

Mine's on Tmobile and it's been dispatched today, It's not just Vodafone orders that have gone through today.

When did you ordered?

Vodafone have offically given a launch date

Finally a network has given an offical launch date 14th October 2010
see link.
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/htc-desire-hd?WT.srch=1&cid=ppc-goo-cbu-c75-18949-ex
But boy is it pricey with Vodafone what a rip off. Interesting to see what the other networks offer, probably T-Mobile will be the cheapest.
Vodaphone
But it does state "expected 14 October", so once again there is no guarantee but atleast you could get something out of them if Vodaphone deliver late.
Yup. After finding out about the delays I enquired as to an upgrade, and they said "from the 14th October". They didn't say how far from though!
I think I'll wait. Don't want to give up what must be one of the first UK preorders!
I would recommend you guys stop crying over when it's gonna be released or not.
With every announcement, there was the "EXPECTED" release date.
You're needlessly spamming the forum.
You were fully aware of that when you ordered.
Hmmm good point but what else am I going to do till the end of Oct as I have no other life??
ps Hoping to become a senior member on here prior to release of the DHD

Let's hope that doesn't mean a lot of spam posts...
This morning some people have received the following email from Vodafone
Unfortunately we have suffered a surprisingly high demand for the HTC Desire HD, which means that it`s unexpectedly out of stock.
Does this mean the had the handset in stock and already sold out. Apparently waiting time is now 7 - 10 working days. Anyone else recieve any such message?

I had a feeling a week or so a go that was going to happen. Thats why I gave up also. Hate it for everyone
anybody else get this message? i did not. shipping estimate not updated.
No message, ordered the 2nd, and have a "Delivery Date" of 12/26
I think they knew they had a problem then. As in the one day it went from being shipped the 14/15th on the 1st to 26th on Dec 2nd.
Apparently many will get lucky next week http://en.community.dell.com/dell-b...the-topic-of-dell-venue-pro-order-delays.aspx
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
In that post he talks as if they have been delivering units to customers already.. I would guess by the forums that no one has gotten a shipping notification much less received a unit yet. The way this is spun they are trying to make the public think that there was just such a huge demand that they could not keep up.
I wish they could get their story straight and just let everyone know what is going on. I am still waiting on a replacement as well from my November 8th purchase at the Microsoft store.
I think that per your estimated delivey time and shipping time the system will only send the delay message once the estimated delivery time cannot be reached.
This is why people with end of dec. delivery time are not delayed.... YET.
I had a delivery estimate for today and I got the e-mail yesterday saying that my order has been delayed until January 6th.
Wow, Dell is even throwing in Blue tooth headsets for those who havent heard and some people people are even getting thier DVP's shipped this week!
Is this what joy feels like...? Dell? its been so long...

XOOM in the UK

I have been checking the carphone warehouse site religiously. Everywhere claims they have pre-order, which sure, the page is there, but now button to preorder.
Anyway, I have just noticed today that the "out of stock" has changed to "in-stock" and the "expected early april" has changed to "for delivery mid-april".
This looks hopeful, but I'm the kind that was born without and never learned patience, I really hope I don't have to wait until mid-april.
Still, promising news of us getting it some time soon.
Just to spark some potential conversation, I fully intend to get the 3G version since I think a Wifi tablet is a waste of time, if you can't access the internet on the go, what's the point?
I'm an Android Developer by profession so I use my Tabs and Phones all hours of the day in all manner of places. I can't wait till the London underground gets 3G, I'll take a trip there just to sit on a circular tube line with my XOOM
Hi,
PcWorld still have it for availability on the 9-4-11 for the wifi version so here is hoping, getting feed up of waiting now
Steve

Yikes, that's pretty much the end of April. How did you manage to pre-order? Website has nothing, and I tried the 3 stores in town, not one of them had a clue, half of the staff had never even heard of it.

alias_neo, you can preorder by clicking the ad on the carphone warehouse front page, then 'view deals'.
Now this is where the 'add to basket' didn't show up for me in firefox! It said 'Out of stock - Back order' but there was no means to actually buy. I opened it in IE (yuck) and the 'add to basket' button was there.
I also got the email saying delivery is expected on 19th April

Ahhh! I'v never used IE a day in my life, no wonder I couldn't find the button, bit of a flaw for Firefox users not to be able to buy it.
I got the Verizon version in the States last week works a treat over here (wifi only ofc) i could not wait for release over here...LOL
Lordao
if indeed they are expecting the XOOM in the mid of april, might as well wait for another few weeks till the google IO where rumours that they will be abnnouncing a similar to Nexus line of tablet. a pure google dev device.
i have pre-ordered mine as well, but tempted to cancel it after i heard that google might come out with a dev tablet.

No point, the XOOM is as good as a dev tablet. It's a comes with Google device so no mods, it will get the updates.
Unless something that can prove it's better comes out within a couple of weeks I'll be getting this for my development and general entertainment, I just don't have the patience to keep waiting.

it will get the updates, but most likely from either modders/hackers or officially from motorola. not from google.
look at it as a Motorola Droid, the first experience device for android.
not quite a dev device.
i was hoping it to be something like the the t-mobile G1, or the HTC magic where they make it a official dev device... but again, i might be wrong.
just another point. can't seems to find any information or download link of 99b3b5f5dcde.signed-trygon-HRI66-from-HRI39.00b3b5f5.zip that comes from google.
the file that floats around just seems to be the cached one.

Did the Droid have a locked bootloader?
I just saw this on Engadget: HERE
That the XOOM will finally be launched here in the UK next week. I swear, if they only release the Wifi version next week XOOM is going bye-bye and I'm spending the cash on a box of Cohiba Esplendido. I just don't have this kind of patience.
Any the rumour mongering alongside the negative user reviews is starting to put me off the device. I'm an Android dev in my day job, I want a dev device, not another Galaxy Tab like I'm stuck with now.

How likely is this? I'm interested for the same reason I got my N1, updates from Google directly rather than via a 3rd party. The Xoom is the tablet version of the Droid imho.
I cannot wait next week to cam! BUT! Something is holding me back, just from my experience the first product from manufacture is always suffer from bad design….. I think I will wait Samsung 10.1….. grrr I’m confused

phones4u customers read here

This doesn't happen very often, but i just spoke to a phones4u employee who actually seemed to know what he was talking about, and he replied to one of my questions with "im sorry but i dont know" which implies to me that he aint making stuff up lol. Anyway as i believe he knew what he was on about heres what he said (still take with pinch of salt tho)
"we recieved limited stock on the 11th which we thought were for delivery on the 14th but sony delayed them and we are not allowed to deliver them until the 17th, we are getting more stock on the 17th which will be delivered on the 22nd"
He then went on to tell me that my order was due to be delivered on the 22nd, when i asked if he how much stock they recieved on the 11th he replied
"sorry but i dont know........ i havent had to tell anyone they will be recieving this phone on the 17th, so maybe they haven't allocated them yet"
So there you have it, like i said take it with a pinch of salt but he seemed a lot more 'on the ball' than all the other idiots ive had to speak to. Shame i wont be able to fiddle with it over the bank holiday weekend but nevermind. Post here if you get one thursday.
Just wondering if anyone else's order info has changed??? Mine has finally changed from "awaiting stock" to "preparing for dispatch", still doesnt mean ill be lucky enough to get it tomorrow but heres hoping.... Anybody still showing as awaiting stock?

Hey guys,
I pre-ordered mine on 17th March and will be receiving it on Saturday. Have you guys got yours yet?
Yup, mine is in my hands right now
playing with it and my wireless speaker
Picture ??????????
Unboxing
Screenshot of homescreen
Screen is beautifully clear and bright
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
Extras
So, mine arrived yesterday (and its ace!) but does anyone know the details on the pre-order bonuses? Specifically:
-£50 Google Play voucher (Will it really take 28 days to send an email?)
-£80 Sony film and music content (How the hell do we get hold of this through the lounge app?)
-Michael Jackson album (When is this available?)
-Smart band voucher (When is this released?)
Cheers.
Sony entertainment stuff is claimed through the app - Xperia lounge
Voucher will prove take 14-28 days so you can't cancel. Contract after redeeming voucher.
If you got the gourmet society voucher if.you sign up now you get the chance to win more free stuff, I won another wireless speaker
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
Cheers for that, the termination thing makes sense!
Can you give me an idiots guide to how to find the content on the lounge app... I had a look and only found some free games, no movies.

Smart band voucher, dont know sorry
shotgun, i envy you so much right now, i phoned dpd yesterday when tracking showed my phone had started its journey to me, but the guy i spoke to reckoned i couldnt collect it from the depot this morning as it wont arrive there until tomorrow, so far according to tracking it left leceister 6pm yesterday, birmingham hub 2 about 8pm, birmingham hub 3 at 9ish n thats it, arrrrrgh........
